Can’t like the idea. Glad to see update. When will the world look around the world and understand that whichever place the militant Muslims are there is grave danger. Count the places of strife – Iraq – Syria – Afghanistan – Turkey – Iran – Gaza. – more….. where next???? Sad.

These terrorists keep proving that all they know is hatred. It’s not new. It’s been going on since the beginning of time. Turkey has been in the wrong plenty of times throughout history, that does not justify Syria’s threat.

ISIS, and Eastern Rebels intend to dry up the Rivers, to cross their Evil Troops across on Dry Land, and to Water Starve All People into Submission. It’s the Old Christian nonsense, which they are trying to make a reality. It’s changing History, to suit Their need. It’s Bogus. It’s as Evil as when they blew up the Buddha Statues carved into the mountains, to try and change History. Same Ignorances. Hate and Idolatry.

Mr. Bromberg, I suggest that you read the history of the secular Republic of Turkey. It will hopefully stop you from making ignorant and childish comments like the one above.The Turkish people are against terrorism and the status quo of the current government which uses religion as a leverage for fascism. Thousands of educated citizens got hurt or killed in last years uprising , journalists jailed precisely because they are not terrorists and they want democracy. Good day, Sir.

Mr Bromberg and similar people in this section are unfortunately soo ignorant and without any correct information, it is hard or almost impossible to make them educated on such serious issues. One last word: Do you all know how many citizens Türkiye lost during the last 20 years to PKK terrorism? Please check this out which may help you to change your mind. Or would you know about how many Turkish solders who were killed during the Korean war for US cause which did not involve our country at all could be another example about being friends of the US.. You need to study and well educated before making ignorant comments.

Rita Katz, unfortunately, thanks to Obama the various Islamic militant groups are alive & thriving in America today; unless this nation returns to G-d quickly we will soon be sharing again in the pain of Islamic terrorism on our shores. Terrorists now control Iraqi oil fields, power and water plants and are threatening Turkiye with attacks on the Ataturk dam. Because they place no value on life and declare the benefits of death (until it is upon them personally) most will attack on order believing that they are gaining blessings from allah the arab moon god.

Doug/Tammy Isaacs — Turkiye was a very modern, moderately Islamic country until the end of the 1990′s when Erdogan began to rise in power and radicalize the country. In more recent years the PKK has terrorized citizens and the country under this terrorist organization has taken innumerable steps backward toward the 7th century with aims on a new islamic caliphate (i.e. attacks on individuals considered “too westernized”, including physicians, scientists, educators, et al).

Yori, why the reference “old Christian nonsense”? Many Christians and Jews lived quiet lives alongside of Turks for centuries until the Islamic uprisings at the beginning of the 20th century when thousands of Christians & Jews were slaughtered. The problem is the lie of islam.

Because so many recently are trying so had to create an almost neo-Nazi environment, by trying to push Revelation into becoming reality. Its not a part of the sanctioned Bible, which ended at the Times of Malachi. It’s Not Canon. It never will be.it’s Pseudoepigrapha. It’s Apocryphal only. This makes it totally contrary to Scripture, by Adding, where Torah strictly says not to. Thus, y these groups pushing to make it a reality, they a radical groups go contrary to G-D’s Word, Will and even History. There is a Southern Christian Group, with that exact purpose. They are wrong.
